There are some things you can only know by living a long time Mammamaia. You know this. For me, that is the best thing about growing old.
holy cats! never expected such a slew o' wunnerful b'day wishes... thanks everyone! [except maybe cog, for that slam re the fire hazard... ;-) ] seriously, i'd never ruin a good, yummy cake with all that melted wax... i'd go for those nice number-shaped candles, so i'd only need two! love and hugs to all, maia [at the ripe old age of 71!] ps: my birthday was actually yesterday for me, 'cause i'm on the other side of the int'l date line from y'all... so, thanks to you guys/gals, i've had a double birthday...
well, you are the most deserving of it, maia. You've been here longer than most and helped out more than most as well. You are a valuable member. I do hope that you had a lovely double birthday.
thanks for the wishes, kind words and hugs, kids! extra hugs to you all, m ps: cog, you're just a twig, compared to this ancient oak, so don't go braggin' about the number of candles on your cake, young'un! ;-)
I'll send my mother after you then, She's got nearly a decade on you, and she's a force to be reckoned with.
i wouldn't dream of arguing with yer mum!... us maternal types gotta stick together........... thanks for the kind thoughts, souji and henry! hugs, m
